Best Succulent Containers Contest 2012
...and the winner is:
Rustic Galvanized Bathtub
It's that time again - presenting the winner of the Best Succulent Containers Contest 2012. Diana wins the prize and bragging rights and you can get inspired by the funky, unique and rustic ways that other gardeners show off their prized succulent plant collection.
Find some unique ideas to display your Echeveria, tender Sedum, Pachyveria, Crassula and whatever else fits into the category of 'succulent plant' - they can be hardy Sedum or Sempervivum, the hens and chicks, or mix and match; then choose, combine, and create.
The contest is now closed for 2012 - enter the Best Succulent Containers Contest 2013 - and look for more announcements in Xeria.
There aren't many rules, but please check them out here: Best Succulent Containers.
